New TiBook Handle Also Sports a Stand

gsfprez writes "The fine folks at Other World Computing have teamed up with Newer Technology to release the perfect handle for your TiBook, because its also a stand: it folds underneath like the CRT iMac stand when you're parked. Previous handles were only handles, but the TiHandle actually gives you the tilt you wish you had with you all the time without the little feet popping off or overrotating."

handles?

Why handles? For such an expensive piece of equipment, I certainly wouldn't carry it around unprotected... I'd use a laptop case.

4 screws...

does it bother anyone else that the entire weight of the laptop is supported by 4 screws and a hinge that's only designed to hold the weight of a rather small (and lightweight) LCD display? i can't imagine putting the stress of a freely swinging 5.4 lb laptop on 4 tiny screws is going to do wonders for the structural ingegrity of that little plastic liner that the display attaches to.

on a side note, does this sound suspiciously like another well placed ad?

for better ventilation on my tibook, i use two of those free 2.5" x 4" bibles the guys in suits hand out just outside of campuses to get my laptop off the table about half an inch. they're free, too! :)

you'd use the handle to take it out of the case...

or put it in the case. At some point you're going to have to move it from the case to your lap or desk, no? The surface of the TiBook is smooth and may be slippery, and a handle makes it easier to move.

That said, there are only two mounting points for this handle, and it's attached with some small screws, so I would be careful with the amount of force you put on such a handle, especially any twisting or torquing force.
